Ingredients
For the Cobbler
- 12 original glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 (15-ounce) cans sliced peaches, drained (or 5–6 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Pinch of salt
Optional Topping
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar or granulated sugar
- Light dusting of cinnamon
- Powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- Scatter half of the doughnut pieces evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
- Arrange half of the sliced peaches over the doughnuts.
- Repeat with the remaining doughnut pieces and peaches, creating even layers.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
- Slowly pour the custard mixture evenly over the doughnut and peach layers. Gently press the doughnut pieces down with a spoon so they absorb the liquid.
- Let the mixture rest for 15–20 minutes, allowing the doughnuts to soak up the custard.
- Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar and a little extra cinnamon if desired.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown with bubbling peach juices around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. This helps the custard firm up while remaining wonderfully creamy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with:
- Vanilla ice cream
- Fresh whipped cream
- Caramel sauce
- A drizzle of warm peach syrup
- Fresh peach slices for garnish
Storage
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 30–45 seconds or warm the entire dish in a 325°F oven until heated through.
